Schlittler (back) recovered well from Tuesday's bullpen session and will throw one more before likely moving on to facing hitters, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.
Schlittler has been slowed a bit early on in camp by a mid-back issue, but he's on the mend. If the young right-hander is indeed cleared to face hitters soon, pitching in a Grapefruit League contest should follow shortly after. Schlittler is locked into a spot in the Yankees' rotation after holding a 2.96 ERA and 84:31 K:BB over 73 regular-season innings in 2025.

Yankees' Cam Schlittler: Returns to mound work Tuesday
Rotowire
Schlittler (back) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Schlittler dealt with some inflammation in his back last week when he reported to camp, but the 25-year-old right-hander is past the issue and has resumed normal mound work. Schlittler made his MLB debut last season, making 14 regular-season starts for the Yankees, and posted a 2.96 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 84:31 K:BB across 73 innings. He should man a spot in New York's Opening Day rotation.

Yankees' Cam Schlittler: Nearing return to mound
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Schlittler (back) is expected to resume mound work Tuesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
The 25-year-old right-hander reported to camp this week nursing mid-back inflammation, and his scheduled return to mound work Tuesday appears to confirm that the injury is minor. Schlittler should have a fairly normal ramp-up for the regular season and appears set for an Opening Day rotation spot for the first time in his career.

Yankees' Cam Schlittler: Nursing minor back injury
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Schlitter will not throw off a mound for a few days due to mid-back inflammation, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
The injury is considered minor, and Schlitter will continue to throw on flat ground. At this point, the Yankees seem to be simply exercising caution, though it's possible Schlittler's Grapefruit League debut gets pushed back. The young right-hander is locked into a spot in the Yankees' rotation after holding a 2.96 ERA and 84:31 K:BB over 73 regular-season innings in 2025.
Yankees' Cam Schlittler: Takes tough-luck loss in Game 4
Rotowire
Schlittler took the loss to the Blue Jays on Wednesday in Game 4 of the American League Division Series. He allowed four runs (two earned) on eight hits while striking out two without a walk over 6.1 innings.
Making a second consecutive start with the season on the line, Schlittler pitched well, but the Yankees couldn't stave off elimination this time around. Still, per MLB's Sarah Langs, Schlittler became just the 10th pitcher in modern history with at least six innings pitched and two earned runs or fewer allowed in multiple starts facing elimination in a single postseason. The 24-year-old right-hander finishes his first playoff run with a 1.26 ERA over 14.1 innings, and he figures to be a hot commodity in fantasy drafts next spring.

Rotowire
Schlittler threw eight scoreless innings while allowing five hits and striking out 12 to earn the win in Thursday's wild-card game against Boston. He did not issue a walk.
Schlittler matched up against fellow rookie Connelly Early in Thursday's decisive Game 3 and turned in a historic performance. Schlittler dominated Boston's lineup, generating 18 swinging strikes on 107 total pitches, while efficiently recording 24 outs. His next postseason outing should come in Game 4 of the ALDS against the Blue Jays.
Yankees' Cam Schlittler: Would start potential Game 3
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Schlittler would start Game 3 of the American League Wild Card Series versus the Red Sox on Thursday, if necessary, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.
Schlittler solidified himself as the best option for a potential Game 3 by striking out nine over seven shutout innings against the Orioles in his final regular-season start. The rookie right-hander finished the campaign with a 2.96 ERA and 84:31 K:BB over 73 frames covering 14 starts. With Schlittler pegged for Game 3, Luis Gil and Will Warren will either be in the bullpen for the first round of the postseason or left off the roster.
Yankees' Cam Schlittler: Dominant finish to regular season
Rotowire
Schlittler (4-3) picked up the win Saturday, scattering two hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings in a 6-1 victory over the Orioles. He struck out nine.
The nine Ks were a career high for Schlittler in his 14th big-league start, and Baltimore didn't get a runner past second base over the right-hander's 97 pitches (63 strikes). He wraps up the regular season with a 2.96 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 84:31 K:BB in 73 innings, and while the Yankees have veteran options like Max Fried and Carlos Rodon available, Schlittler has made a strong case to have a significant role in the team's postseason rotation plans.
Schlittler did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Orioles, allowing a run on three hits and a walk across 5.1 innings. He struck out six.
Schlittler was impressive Sunday, with Baltimore's lone run coming on a Samuel Basallo homer in the fifth inning. The 24-year-old Schlittler has been inconsistent of late, though he's posted a 2.72 ERA across 36.1 innings in his last seven outings. The right-hander is tentatively lined up for a rematch with the Orioles his next time out.
